Wind Power on Ice

WHOI engineering assistant Kris Newhall assembles a wind generator that will provide power to the Arctic Ocean Flux Buoy (red-topped fixture protruding through the ice on the left). In April 2007, Newhall and colleague Rick Krishfield deployed instruments for investigators from WHOI, the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), and the Naval Postgraduate School at the North Pole Environmental Observatory.
